Update and accusations

I am relieved to tell you that after Monday life has settled down a little. Having talked to ET on Monday he went to college on Tuesday and seems to be in a happier place. I now think that his 'quitting college' was a knee jerk reaction to missing his train. I also think he now realises what a big step he would be making and probably not in his best interests to quit.

On the other subject, to bolster my courage I 'power dressed' for work on Tuesday to give myself more strength. In the end we didn't hear from SF at all on Tuesday. As he had said he doesn't have my phone numbers (even the house phone number was changed after he moved out). If he wants to speak to me he has to call one of our sons on their mobiles. We have all agreed that he can't stay here, that makes it easier for me knowing that our boys don't want him here. Tonight OJ had a missed call from him but none of us have spoken to him, I am still dreading his next call but I know there can only be one answer if he asks again about staying here.

On a different subject, back to that other boring topic, my work. One of our Reps made an accusation to me the other day. It was the second time I had spoken to him in a short period of time that morning. He said I was talking to him in a sexy voice and wondered why. I told him I wasn't I was just talking the way I normally do. I'm not sure he was convinced and I have not spoken to him again since. No thats not true I did speak to him again a short time later. Ok I confess I did alter my voice slightly when I answered the phone knowing it was him but I thought I was just speaking nicely. Perhaps it was more a case of what I said rather than how. The first time he called he said

'Oh hi LiR, how are you?'

'I'm fine .....all the better for speaking to you'.

my reply was just a bit of tongue in cheek fun, we have always got on ok, I have never flirted with him in any way shape or form so perhaps I caught him off guard.

So after he accused me of talking in a sexy voice, once I had denied it I had to make sure I kept my voice the same each time he called. I wonder how long I can keep this going. I have never met him as he is based in the north. Although one of our other more local Reps he lives in a small Kentish town that I knew well in my childhood, and visits our office every few months. He is not far off retirement but I can still wind him up so that he tells me I have made him 'come over all unnescessary'. Who says work can't be fun? Oh yes Bob was saying something crude to WM about what to do with an 18" roller sleeve, they both looked at me and said they wouldn't ask me what I would do with it. WM did mutter about it would need a lot of batteries though. I really don't know what they could be insinuating. Don't they know that I am a shy, innocent, naive single mum. Now Trixie don't spray your coffee everywhere. I am innocent I tell you.....stamps foot and goes off to the corner to hide with an impish grin spread across my face.

sex

A fellow blogger asked me the other day if I get less hits on my blog now since I have not been blogging about sex. I am not sure that, that is strictly the case. I do sometimes blog about sex although not to the same degree as I used to do.

Yes there are probably people who read me less if at all now because I don't mention sex quite as much these days. I do have a stat counter as you can see and yes I do sometimes check to see who has been reading and what they have been reading but in all honesty I have not bothered for ages.

My guess is that for most people who have stopped reading or do so less often it isn't the lack of sexual content but the lack of posting anything at all. where I had been posting at least once a day for so long I now go days without posting, I have also been very remiss in my reading and commenting on other blogs for a few months. I have made myself a vow that I shall get back to doing this.

Talking of my blogging friends I have been invited to a party by my blog friend Prada Pixie, you may recall that I met her at the xmas party that ended up with just 4 of us there. She is having another party but has now postponed it for a few weeks as she has found a new blogger playmate who she has an opportunity to spend that weekend with. Last night I text him to congratulate him on finding himself such a great woman. his reply.......well ur 2 blame
it's nice to know that two of my single friends have found each other and if that was through me then I am even more pleased.

As everyone must know......there was no getting away from it, yesterday was St Valentines day. How many cards did I get? none......how many bunches of flowers none.......any kisses ? none.........taken out for a nice meal? no anything nice for me on this day no. Last year I was with N who bought me flowers

a necklace which I actually wore at work yesterday,

a lovely card

and a bottle of champagne, glasses etc in an ice bucket.

But I already knew our relatioship wasn't working. I was trying to figure how to get out of it without hurting him the way he had previously hurt me. This year the highlight of my day was unblocking the toilet. Which day would I have preferred to have? ..................I was in a much better space this year than last.

Two of my sons tried to celebrate Valentine's with their girlfriends. ET had spent money he (and I as I had lent him some extra money)could not really afford on his girlfriend of 10 days. After work I had to drive him to her house where he was spending the evening (half hour drive in rush hour). She dumped him last night as she is not ready for a relationship (this was after I had lectured him about not spending too much time on her or any other girl in the next few months until he has finished his GCSE's)

DC has been with his g/f nearly 4 years. He has virtually no money (nothing new there) so he bought fresh strawberries some chocolate which he melted and dipped the strawberries into then wrote on them with icing to form the words I love you. I did take a photo but not uploaded it yet.

Oh and if you came here to read about sex I shall be writing something for you over the next couple of days

Naughty Lady

Oh dear I have been a bad Lady
I have been neglecting my blog
Is it because I have been playing happy families ........... No not really
Is it because I have been busy with my love life..............No although Oxo rang me last night
It is because I have become addicted
I have found something that has taken me by suprise and taken me over
Oh I did write a post on here on friday but ET decided that he was going to use the computer and logged me off while I was getting a drink
I have not been completely out of communication in the last week
I have chatted to several bloggers by text or msn
I have also chatted to Harvey, Fireman Sam and Oxo not forgetting Neptune
but what has taken me over
Facebook!!
I got sucked into it a few months ago just dipping in every now and again not really figuring it out
But over the last few days I got chatting to some guys on an application called Flirty
yes I was doing what I know how to do flirting
One guy (Hector) has chatted so much that on friday night we chatted and chatted until at 4.30am I figured there was no point in going to bed
we were still chatting at 9.45am when I had to go out
But we didn't chat again until sunday because I was so tired the rest of saturday that I was sleeping until I started being sick (same bug my baby had xmas day and OJ on friday)
today sunday it has taken me all day to catch up with all the invites I have been gettig from my new friends.
So I apologise for neglecting my friends on here but I have been having fun

The sign is there

I just found a comment from Innocent in response to my post gonna fuck forest again. He says I will as the sign is there. I know exactly what he is talking about.

Yes the sign is there and has been for a few weeks now. When I drive home from work I have to use a junction where there have been ongoing road works for sometime. A few weeks ago a six foot approx sign suddenly appeared. It is on the edge of the road works just by where I have to stop at lights before exiting the junction. It appears to be a road sign that has been propped up about 4 or 5 foot off the ground only it has been turned so that you can only see the back of it and scrawled on it in large painted letters the word..........Forest

It appears to have no purpose yet it seems to have been placed there deliberately.
I have no idea why it is there or what it means but I cannot avoid seeing it.
